The driver in an accident that killed two men Tuesday near Seal Rock has been arrested and hit with multiple charges, including two counts of manslaughter in the first degree.

Jose Manuel De Leon Colomo, 24, of Newport, has been charged with driving under the influence of intoxicant, two counts of recklessly endangering another person and reckless driving, said Oregon State Police.

De Leon Colomo was northbound in a 1997 Chrysler van on U.S. 101 at about 10:30 a.m. when the van failed to negotiate a left curve, traveled over an embankment and crashed into a tree, police said. The van broke into several pieces.

Two passengers were pronounced dead at the scene. Their names have not been released pending notification of next of kin. De Leon Colomo has been lodged in the Lincoln County jail.
